      next thought. question I could use feed back on: how to use a twitter account for multiple purposes, e.g. professional (whatever that is for someone retired), community, personal, special interest (advocacy, avocation research), etc. Not including elements of personal in "professional" affects voice, makes it too institutional.

  • My Top Ten Twitter Turn-Off's

  • these people are, in Web 2.0-speak, friends.
  • A PLN can take advantage of lots of different services – Facebook is perhaps the best-known, Ning is also very popular

  • David Carr, writing in the New York Times has written an excellent article describing the growing impact of Twitter and explaining why it is set to become part of the infrastructure of the Internet.
  • If you’re interested in what’s new in your field, then Twitter is a great place to start.
  • When it comes to finding a tool to get a job done Twitter is without equal – Prezi, Animoto, Wallwisher, Glogster Edu, Dropbox – I got the tip about all of them first on Twitter
  • If you’re looking to integrate the Internet into your teaching, then your first port of call on Twitter is #edtech.

  • I don’t feel like a displaced person, but more like a ball being buoyed by an invisible network of friends and strangers, all connecting to me and with each other via the Internet.
  • Does it make sense to rely on one’s online social network in times of crisis?
  • But at every moment, whether I was hearing from friends or strangers, I was comforted knowing that people were looking out for me. And I got a lot of useful answers when I needed them.
